7th Joke - At Least Someone Is Laughing [Action | Multi]

[xochipilli_cursed]

[[Aaron has been laying low since the little note incident. Though even that worry was shelved in light of a few new problems.

First his drone sister gave him his Christmas gift. It was a picture of two little kids. Fraternal twins, a brother and sister. Aaron is not pleased with this gift but tucks it away in a journal he bought for himself. He'll spend a day in his room calling out of school sick.

Second issue came after he got a card in the mail. All it said was, "Ha, ha, ha!" Since then Aaron hasn't slept well. That would explain the bags under his eyes and drifting off during the day at least.

Of course third was Percy. He went to visit him and found him acting strange. People had told Aaron about droning but this was his first real experience that hit home.]]

[[You might catch him during one of the following over the next few days.]]

A)
[[Aaron is awake anyways. Before the sun rises he is out delivering gifts. Certain people will find little wrapped presents that say "From: Aaron" on them. Merry Belated X-mas miss_enma_ai, dodo_master, evers_hacker, hungry_monster, generose, and doastheromansdo!]]
((Tag for your gift! If not I'll get you later.))

B)
[[Aaron goes to class. He'll probably fall asleep in several of his classes at some point. Any student feel nice enough to wake him up before the teacher catches him? Any teachers notice?]]

C)
[[He doesn't stick around between classes to hang out like he usually would. He heads straight for his next class and tries to keep conversations short.]]

D)
[[Aaron is at work at the bowling alley. Every now and then he'd find a place to hide and try to just rest his eyes a moment. Not even five minutes later he'll awake with a start and get back to work. He seems far too stressed out for this job.]]

E)
[[Aaron is stalking Percy Jackson. Not approaching him, just watching him and unsure what to do. Just kind of hoping Percy will snap out of this and everything will go back to how it was.]]

F)
[[Aaron is out at night trying to do anything other than stopping and falling asleep. He'll be jogging down the streets, exploring the park, and generally keeping mobile for as long as he can before having to give up and return home.]]

[Gift? Looking at it.]

Re: A

[[Ai will find another paper hat like the one he made before.

It was used to cover up an actual store bought doll. The eyes and hair have been dyed to look more like Ai. The dye/paint job wasn't the greatest.

The hat was humorously over sized for the doll.]]

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

.....

[She'd never had a proper doll before. Ai will take the doll inside and place it in her room, next to her straw dolls.]

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[You got him a gift?! He didn't get you one and now feels terrible, but of course this doesn't stop him from tearing into the present you left for him. He'll get you something and bring it to work tonight to give to you!]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[With scraps and bits he may have stolen from the car shop, Aaron made a miniature trebuchet! It couldn't throw anything larger than big marble, but it was working.

Aaron obviously was a huge fan of shop class back home.]]

[dodo-master.livejournal.com]

[That is

that is

THE BEST PRESENT EVER! He's going to be late to school now, thanks. He has plenty of marbles for ammo.

Later that day he'll meet you at work.]

Aaron! Thank you so much for the gift, it's amazing! Ah, here, I got you something as well.

[He hands over what is obviously a record hastily wrapped in left-over Christmas paper.]

[hungry-monster.livejournal.com]

[Oh hello....gift. That's odd. Johan will just pick it up with a a calm smile.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[There's a holiday card from Aaron that says, "Hope you had a happy holiday. I hope we get to talk again sometime."

Under it was a blank journal bought from the store.]]

[hungry-monster.livejournal.com]

[Oh how kind of him. He'll be sure to put it to good use.]

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

[Oh, a present? Just gonna open that while making a mental note to find Aaron and give him his gift later.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[She'll get a card that says "Happy holidays" and a bunch of dog treats.]]

[evers-hacker.livejournal.com]

[You wouldn't believe how grateful she is for the dog treats, since her puppy devours everything she can get her paws on.

So, later on, she'll be looking for Aaron, his present in her hands, and will spot him when he's exploring the park.] Hey, Aaron!

( a. )

[generose.livejournal.com]

( o-oh, someone got her a gift. she might pick it up curiously, though smiling as she spots the name. )

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[Like most she got a card that says, "Happy Holidays." The gift will be a teddy bear in a dress and wearing a princess tiara.]]

[generose.livejournal.com]

( and she'll smile, happy with the gift. because awww *u* so cute.

and if he's wondering around town later in the day, he might spot her looking around curiously with a package in her hands. because guess who wasn't exactly sure where aaron might live? oh yeah, but dammit, she was going to deliver this present one way or another. )

[Ai is out for a walk.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[Will almost jog by. Aaron isn't too aware of his surroundings. Though at the last moment he'll slow to a stop and offer a forced smile. He was actually happy to see her.]]

"Oh hi Ai."

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

[Sitting next to you. Elizabeth will nudge you a bit.]

Wake up, the teacher is looking over.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[He starts awake, blinking and taking that moment to orient where he was. Whispering.]]

"Oh, thanks."

[[Can't help but yawn, will fake like he was reading his book though.]]

B

[notsaul.livejournal.com]

[psssh no

just gonna put balled-up sheets of paper in his shirt]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[He'll jump awake eventually. Not because of the paper but for the same reason he hasn't gotten much sleep. Looking around and leaning back before he feels and hears the crumpling.]]

"Wha...."

[[Starts to shake his shirt to try to get all the paper out looking around to try and figure out who just did that.]]

_{( Jason can't really remember if he's ever gotten a gift before. So he's very happy. )}

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[Inside the medium sized box is one of those hanging punching bags. (http://product-image.tradeindia.com/00295248/b/0/Boxing-Punching-Bag.jpg) Nothing really to hang it on but it was a start.]]

[Your Science teacher is smiling. That is not a good sign. But you don't notice, because you're asleep. A shame.

A ruler is being slapped down on the desk space in front of you.]

Wake up please student.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[Jumps up and is now standing up up at his desk. Looking around, startled and confused.

Slowly he sits back down and looks embarrassed.]]

"Sorry about that."
